InfobelPRO in short
InfobelPRO is a company-information database. For India it offers firmographics (descriptive data about companies), company emails and phone numbers, and decision-maker contacts. Its India page claims "35.6M" Indian companies and "9.2M" Indian contacts, described as "Verified decision-maker contact records". If you searched for "Infobel India", this is the India data InfobelPRO sells.
InfobelPRO does not publish prices. Its site offers "flexible plans based on your use case and volume", so you ask for a quote, and you can ask for a free sample first. The data comes through a REST API, as CSV, JSON or Parquet files, or on its online platform.
That makes InfobelPRO a fit for data teams, analysts and large sales organisations that want a big company dataset in a machine-readable format. Starleads sells something simpler: ready-made Excel lists of Indian businesses by industry, state and city, at one published price per list.

Where InfobelPRO is the better choice
- Scale. Its claimed India coverage, 35.6M (3.56 crore) companies, is larger than Starleads' whole catalogue of 1,81,24,730 contacts. Plans are shaped around your volume, which suits very large or ongoing needs.
- Decision-makers. It claims 9.2M Indian decision-maker contact records. Starleads can't look up one named executive, and not every Starleads row has a named person.
- Data in the format your systems use. A REST API and CSV, JSON or Parquet files can be loaded into a CRM, a data warehouse or an analysis tool. Starleads delivers Excel files only, with no API or CRM integration.
- Projects beyond India. If the same project covers other countries, a company database like InfobelPRO fits better. Starleads covers India only.
Where Starleads is the better choice
- A published price and no sales call. Every city, state or specialisation list costs ₹499 whatever its size, with no GST added. You don't need a quote.
- Small orders. You can buy one industry in one city, a few hundred or a few thousand contacts, without a volume plan.
- Ready to use. The file opens in Excel, ready for a telecaller. No API or data engineering is needed.
- Seeing the data without asking. InfobelPRO offers a sample too; on Starleads, 60 real contacts and the field shares are on every list page, before you contact anyone.
The nearest Starleads match to a company database is the business directory of each city: every kind of business in that city in one file. Across India the directory holds 78,49,029 businesses, sold by city and state rather than as one file. The biggest city directories:
- Mumbai 6,81,153 contacts · 51% email · 77% mobile ₹499
- Hyderabad 5,80,917 contacts · 42% email · 91% mobile ₹499
- Bengaluru 4,26,906 contacts · 48% email · 97% mobile ₹499
- Chennai 3,58,318 contacts · 50% email · 80% mobile ₹499
- New Delhi 3,51,473 contacts · 55% email · 95% mobile ₹499
- Pune 2,95,344 contacts · 51% email · 89% mobile ₹499
Lists by industry are sold for all of India too, for example:
Other cities are on the cities and states page, and the list builder combines industries and places in one file.
Starleads' limits, plainly: the data is compiled from business directories and similar sources, so not every row has an email or a named person, and contact details change over time. Payment is by UPI or bank transfer only, confirmed by hand, with no card or gateway payment. There is no API or CRM integration, and the data covers India only.
Other InfobelPRO alternatives
Dun & Bradstreet India sells D&B Hoovers, a sales platform with company profiles, corporate linkages and executives, and ready-to-use contact lists. Prices are on request. Its Hoovers page gives two India figures: "42 million Indian business profiles" in one place and "over 33 million entities" in its FAQ. See Dun & Bradstreet alternatives.
Kompass is a company directory that claims "+59 million companies" and "+77 million managers", with no India count. EasyBusiness is priced on request with a 14-day trial; its KSales tool starts at 59 € a month for 200 credits. See Kompass alternatives.
Tofler shows Indian companies' financials, directors, shareholders and MCA filings, with a Pro plan at "₹ 15,000 + GST" for one year with 40 credits. Contact details are not among the data it lists, so it suits research rather than calling. See Tofler alternatives.

Our verdict
Choose InfobelPRO if you are building a large company dataset, need decision-maker records at scale, want the data by API or in Parquet or JSON, or work across several countries. Choose Starleads if you want to call or visit Indian businesses of one kind in one city or state, with a price you can see and an Excel file that is ready to use. For a big data project, ask InfobelPRO for a sample and a quote; for a sales campaign in one market, compare that with a Starleads sample of the same city and industry.
